17th Annual Partners in Philanthropy Celebration
This event is unlike any other in the Pikes Peak region. It is a true celebration, honoring both philanthropic efforts of the past and recognizing current achievement of individuals, foundations, and businesses with a strong commitment of giving back. It is an opportunity for those dedicated to philanthropy to be honored and those who have been impacted by their contributions to say thank you.
